Limited edition Kronos Quartet t-shirts are available through this Friday, December 21, only. If you have not already, order yours today.

We created these t-shirts to both mark Kronos’ 45th year and to help raise money to support Kronos’ nonprofit mission. Please consider rounding up the price of your t-shirt to $45 (just $20 more) to help us continue to commission new music, collaborate with artists and others from all over the world, and mentor the next generation of musicians and composers. If you would like to make a deeper commitment and more profound impact to Kronos, please visit our website to learn more about joining our community of donors.

We are thrilled to announce that Norwegian record label Kirkelig Kulturverksted will release Placeless, a collaborative album with Iranian singers Mahsa and Marjan Vahdat, on March 1, 2019. Recorded at the Jakob Church of Culture in Oslo, the full-length will feature songs composed by Mahsa Vahdat, with string arrangements by Sahba Aminikia, Aftab Darvishi, Atabak Elyasi and Jacob Garchik.

Erik Hillestad, founder and general manager of Kirkelig Kulturverksted, Mahsa Vahdat, Kronos Quartet’s David Harrington, and Marjan Vahdat in Oslo.

The Kronos Quartet is honored that Landfall, our Nonesuch Records album with Laurie Anderson, has been nominated for a 2019 Grammy Award in the Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance category. Congratulations to all of the nominees, including several other Nonesuch artists and Kronos’ longtime producer Judy Sherman, who was nominated – again – as the Classical Producer of the Year.
